This module covers all the typical stages of the software development life cycle, including cross-cutting.

Software Development Methodologies

In this module, we’ll learn how to implement effective software practically through tried and tested approaches. By going through a comprehensive compilation of key concepts in software development methodology, we will learn about essential techniques for becoming better software craftsmen. This module starts with an introduction to effective software development and discusses cross-cutting concerns. After going through these, we’ll move on to design, architecture, implementation, and coding concepts. Ultimately, we'll learn about testing, quality assurance, deployment, and maintenance.

Effective Software Development for Enterprise Applications

## But where would this course fit amidst large-scale frameworks?

The following is a brief explanation of where the course fits when applying large-scale frameworks across organizations.

### Enterprise architecture frameworks

Some chapters (e.g., [Organizations, Subdomains, and Microservices](https://www.educative.io/courses/effective-software-development-enterprise-applications/organizations-subdomains-and-microservices)) in this course solve problems similar to those addressed by [The Open Group Architecture Framework](https://www.opengroup.org/togaf) (*TOGAF*) and other enterprise architecture guides ([Gartner EA](https://www.gartner.com/en/information-technology/glossary/enterprise-architecture-ea)). 

> **Note:** The course refers to TOGAF for simplicity instead of generalizing the comparison with the entire area. Most of the points will apply to other frameworks too.
